into the chair. But. really, he can render

thinks the result proves that the Republican
party never makes anything by temporizing,
and that it is always strongest when it makes
an aggressive, straight-out FROM shoulder
campaign. Mr.. Cooper's head is level on this
subject. We have tried the same tactics,
with like success, in Indiana.

SEEING that the election is a year off, it,is
little early for white Southerners to begin
killing off negroes in selfprotection, but
there is nothing like keeping in practice in
any accomplishment. By next November at
the present rate of progress, one white man
will be able to bring down half dozen col
ored voters day, and not half try.

IN an interview concerning the tariff Sen
ator Edmunds remarks that it cannot be ex-
actly foretold what the results will be from
reduction of the taxes and as an instance,
refers to the removal some time ago, of the
tax on tea and coffee. The income from
these products was withdrawn from the treas
ury, but as Mr. Edmunds points out, the
price remains as high as ever, or, as he might
have said, is higher than before. The i'm
porters made the extra profit, and the people
were in no manner relieved of that bit of the
"grievous burden" which the tariff reformers
declare is weighing them down. Free traders
who are so anxious for the removal of other
taxes, will be called on to explain why the
plan worked as it did in the case mentioned.
If the public must pay high prices for the
Injuries of life, it will naturally prefer that
the profits shall be shared by the government.

WOMEN in convention assem- bled are in
clined to be too diffusive. The National
Wonlan's Christian Temperance Union
(rather a diffusive name) which met in Nash
vile recently not only resolved to continue
warfare on intemperance, but they attacked
their own sex with great vigor, denouncing
women who wear the decollette dress; they
condemned the killing of birds to provide orna-
mentation for hats and bonnets; and they
were especially severe on their misguided sis
tiers who wrote testimonials for quack medi-
cines, and allowed them to be used as news
paper advertisements These are a few of the
abuses to which they directed their attention,
and as consequence there will be little or
nothing done towards reform, because their
efforts lack concentration. The same criti-
Society. largely composed of women, where
this diffusive tendency seems to have broken
out at its recent session in Philadelphia They
declare for arbitration as peace maker; they
want the literature of the day and the school
books to be purified from the sensational ac-
counts Of bloodshed and war, and the news
papers to exclude accounts of pugilistic
counters; they ask that the standing armies
be abolished. and that the drilling of men for
mortal combat be stopped they want the
Irish question settled peaceably; they want
woman suffrage and the abolition of the sale
of Intoxicating drinks; and finally. it is said,
they listened to a speech of Mrs. Belva Lock
wood on twenty-one different subjects of re-
form, all of which they hope to effect through
the Peace Society. The remarks of Minister
Phelps in England the other day, in which
he stated that the English talked too much,
and recommending chair of silence in the
universities, would be of benefit to the women
who meet in convention in this country and
scatter speeches over the whole field OF reform.

meet all the liabilities of Nathan Earth in connection with the administration of the estate.-Albuquerque Demo- crat.
 The above Is a retraction of a state- ment published in the Albuquerque Democrat that Nathan Earth and Max Salzman had been arrested for misap- propriating monies which belonged to the widow of the late Morris Earth and that in default of giving the bail required they had both been locked up in jail. Mir. Earth was indicted on some charge made against him as administrator and gave bonds to an swer. But the letter of Mrs. Perfecta Earth, the lady against whom the wrong was stated to have been perpe- trated, shows fully that Nathan Earth in his capacity as administrator of the estate of the late Morris Earth, per. formed his duties faithfully and that he and his sureties have been fully re- leased from all liability. As far as Max Salznan is concerned that gen. tleman seems never to have had any. thing to do with the affairs in ques- tion.

The Inter-state Commissioners.

The fact that Mir. Cooley's name heads the list of interstate commerce does not necessarily indicate that he will be chairman of the commission as it must elect its own chairman. Coo ley was recently appointed by Judge Gresham receiver of the Wabash rail- way. Aldance F. Walker is Yer mont lawyer about A years old, re- publican in politics, who studied law with Senator Edmunds, served as a colonel in the Union army and has since then practiced law at Rutland, Vermont. In the senate he has ta- ken leading part ia the framing of legislation to solve the railway prob. lem and has given much study to the question. Augustus Schoonmaker, a lawyer of K;ngman, New York, was always close personal and political friend of Governor Tilden. He suc- ceeded MT. Fairchild as attorney gen eral of New York state. Mir. Bragg has been leading democrat in Al. abama for some years. In 1881 he was made president of the Alabama state railroad commission, and served in that position four years, during which time n,any important questions arising between the railroads and their customers were satisfactorily adjudi- cated.

 Two large hotels--one at Flagstaff and the ether at the Grand Canon--will

 miles from Flagstaff, and the cave dwellers arc only five miles from our growing little town. Oak creek can- on wonderful place, by the way, is only twenty miles from Flagstaff, i, where brook troat are to be found by the thousand. With all of these at. tractons, Flagstaff is bound to be a great place. The climate around the San Francisco mountains is the most wonderful climate in the world. I consider Flagstaff one of the best bus mess points among the small towns on the coast, and I am confident that 1t has a very bright future.

FlAgstanf Invest rn snt Co.

h meeting of sonc of our mos, prominent citizens was held at lhe of. flee of the Bank of Flagstaff on Thurs. day evening last, to discuss the sub. ject of organizing what is to be known as the Flagstaff Investment Co. Mir. 5. A. Butler presided as chairman oI the meeting and he cited some of his experience Tn sinilar organization in Kansas City.
 The plan, as MT. Butler explained it, Is something as follows: Its main object IS to provide for men of limi. ted means an investment which shall, at the expiration of the charter, or sooner, have paid them a good divi- dend. The shares to be issued by the company are to run for five years, to be paid for by monthly assessments of five dollars per share. No stock holder will be allowed to hold more than six shares. The officers are to consist of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, and board of directors elected by the stockhold- CTS.
 The money accruing from the monthly assessments IS to be invested in such manner as shall be deemed most safe and profitable by the board of directors.
 The subject was thoroughly discuss ed and met with warm approval from all present. A committee was ap. pointed to draft bylaws and articles of incorporation. The time fer the next meeting was fixed for Saturday evening, April rst., at the C. A. R. Hall. (There are numerous opportu- mites for paying investments in Flag staff and the CHAMPION wishes the gen. tlemen every success ;n what appears to be one of the most laudable enter prlses yet started here.--Ed.)
